JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Jacksonville’s recent kicking situation can be summed up like this: two Wrights and more than a dozen wrongs. The Jaguars are now counting on the youngest kicker ever drafted, Cam Little of Arkansas, to stop a revolving door and bring stability to a position that has been one of the league’s most tumultuous over the past four years. Jacksonville employed a whopping 16 kickers, including unrelated Brandon and Matthew Wright, between the start of the pandemic and selecting Little in the sixth round of last week’s NFL draft. It’s a head-shaking stretch that spans numerous injuries, several one-week tryouts and a few downright debacles. And despite ranking 31st in the NFL in field-goal rate over that four-year span — one of just two teams under 80% — the Jaguars weren’t planning to choose Little until Denver’s Wil Lutz reneged on a three-year agreement in the opening hours of free agency. |
